Greenest ironman who leaves no tracedaisy dumas
He will swim twice the length of Oxford Street, cycle the distance of the M25 and run a full marathon in one go — all without leaving a footprint. A carbon footprint, that is.
Londoner Jon Alexander will ditch his regular trainers, swap his carbon-fibre bike for a bamboo one and wear recycled-fibre clothing to become the first eco-competitor in an Ironman-length triathlon in Barcelona.
Only attempted by a few thousand people a year, races in the gruelling series take about 12 hours to finish and are regarded as some of the most chal-lenging endurance events. They include a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run.
Mr Alexander, 27, an environmental strategist at a Soho advertising agency, has run four marathons and rowed for Great Britain at under-23 level. He is training by swimming in the Serpen-
tine, trudging parks and towpaths and covering miles of the city’s roads by bike.
But his training and preparation are focused not just on the physical chal-lenge but on the environmental one.
He will travel to Challenge Barcelona, which is on 4 October, by eurostar and overnight train, and will auction off his bike and other reusable pieces of his
environmentally-friendly kit after the race to raise money for charity.
He will eat a vegetarian diet, getting protein from beans, pulses and cheeses and dreaming up recipes “using eggs in ways that the average person never thought possible”. He will also munch on fair-trade, organic sports nutrition products.
Mr Alexander, who lives in Wands-
worth, wants to draw attention to open spaces available for sport, and aims to raise funds and awareness for the Wilderness Foundation, a charity which encourages city-dwellers to become connected to nature and wild places.
He said: “If I can inspire people to find more of a place for nature in their lives, and raise money for those who other-

wise wouldn’t get the chance, I will definitely feel like I’ve succeeded.”
The Ironman events culminate in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii every October, although this is a problem for Mr Alexander: “I don’t think you can get the train to Hawaii.”
